UConn basketball star Paige Bueckers wanted to thank her supporters one final time before playing her final collegiate game at Gampel Pavilion.
Bueckers matched her career-high of 34 points to help the Huskies advance to their 31st Sweet 16 appearance with a blowout win over South Dakota State in the women’s NCAA Tournament on Monday.
The fifth-year senior received a standing ovation from the sellout crowd as she came off the court just minutes before the end of her final home game.
